You Read Everyone?
Is there anyone out there who reads every writer of this blog...? Maybe not all the time... But that has at one time or another...
That isn't a writer of this blog themselves.
If so... I'd love to hear from you, as I have a question I'd love answered...
Let me know if you qualify and are willing to possibly answer something.
-- Tom
It'd be GREAT if you didn't read the comments below till after you answer...
So earlier answers don't influence you.
Well, here are my questions. You don't have to answer each one. And of course you don't have to answer any of them. And if you don't want to post your answers on line, you can answer directly to me off post and ask me to keep it private.
Question:
1) Do you think you could tell who writes each blog entry without the name or picture attached?
2) If 7 of us wrote 3 blogs, unlabeled, without pictures, in one week... How many blogs do you think you'd guess correctly out of the 21?
3) If you were to describe the different writers of this blog to someone who's never read this blog before... How would you differentiate between the writers to them? (ie. What words would you use to describe each writer? Or is what they write about different? Or their tone different? Or their style? Or does each writer mix it up?)
4) Personally, as I'm always looking for ways to improve in every aspect of my life and work, Is there anything that you personally would like to read more of or less of from this particular writer?
(Not to say I'll change based on what you tell me, but like notes on a script, I promise to at least look at those aspects.)
I read all of them! As you said, sometimes I skip this one or that one, but I check for updates everyday and read. :)

First THANK YOU for reading!!!

I also read every writer, and check for updates almost every day. My answers are as follows:
1) Mostly. Some of the women I get mixed up.
2) 3 or 4
3) Ming Ming always makes me laugh. Eve (I think it's her; she's one of the ones I get mixed up) writes about her Cricket. Tom writes about singing and films he's in, mixed with philosophy. Nicole is no-nonsense. Susan is cute (though that's mainly her picture).
4) Not really. I like the mix of styles I get on a group blog like this. Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks for your answers Cole!

"no nonsense" huh? Heh heh...

I read all of them as well...
1) Absolutely.
2) I think I'd guess 20. I'll give myself a margin of error, but I think you all have very different voices.
3) Hmmm... Well, Ashley reads like the youngest of you (not sure she is, but she reads that way) and writes more about auditions than the rest of you. Eve usually talks about motherhood & single/divorced life. Tom, you do the songs all the time, and often talk about trying to move up in billing status (and occasionally philosophy). Nicole - lots of commerical audition info. Stacey - works at the SAG foundation, quirky personality, thinking about leaving acting. Susan - also talks about single life, personal life (or lack of), seems to be in a bit of a dry spell acting wise. Ming Ming - reads as the most successful actor of the bunch (again, don't know if that's true, it's just the way she reads), talks about her husband, funny posts.

4) Not really. I often wish that some of the writers on this blog would write more on their acting experiences and less on their personal lives / philosophy. However, for me you are one of the writers who has a lot of audition / filming /craft info in his posts. I say keep up the good work.

Thus far, I'm finding this interesting... Wish people could answer without knowing how others have already answered though.

I read most of the blogs. There are some people I read all the time and others I do not. Yes, I think I could tell who writes each blog (for the most part) if the name wasn't there.

I think that all the blogers are very good. I also think that everything you write about is pertinate to the acting thing you all do. Since your lives are acting, as well as daytime jobs, then everything you do affects your life and blog and is all realivent. Wheater your talking about your acting or you personal lives it matters and I think all actors can relate at some point in thier life to all the experiences expressed here in these blogs either professional or personal. Keep in mind you are all in the same boat and should be helpful, kind and loving to each other. Keep up the great writing and I'll keep reading.

Just realized, in my answer #2, I should have written 10-12. I was counting out of the seven writers, not out of 21 posts.
